Wow, I look a little too excited in that picture . Anyway, I just got back home and I'm happy to report that after 3 times being "selected for extra screening" on 2 flights, it turns out I didn't have any explosive residue on me. However, we still seem to have trouble getting my one and only bag sent to the same place I am going. Grrrrr. Have a great day guys.

Airport guy 2: You know I have heard of this new game called Attacktix that uses kinetic energy to defeat the figures. Airport guy 1: Wow kinetic energy ehh... Sounds dangerous. Airport guy 2: Oh it is! We have got to be on the look out when we x-ray bags for Attacktix figures and give those guys the real "Top and Bottom", if you know what I mean. *Laughs* Airport guy 1: *Deep Laughing*

OR...
TSA Agent - What is that in your bag, sir? Radar - Oh, that's Series Two Venom TSA Agent - Venom? And Series Two? From what animal? Radar - No, you misunderstand, it's a figure in a game. TSA Agent - Game? You think this is a GAME? This is national security, partner. TSA Supervisor - Agent, is there a problem? TSA Agent - This guy's got Venom in his carry on and thinks this is a game! TSA Supervisor - Alright buddy, we've got you on our radar now...you're coming with us! Radar - What irony...they call me Radar! TSA Supervisor - That's the last straw, mister Wiseguy. Body Cavity Search on Lane One! Radar - This isn't good.......NOOOOOOOOooooooooooo......

I took it through the metal detectors, and I was stopped. They thought it was a tool box with tools in it, and didn't seem very happy. So I then informed them it was just a game, and took out a figure and spoke about how it worked and such. Before I know it, all the male security/TSA guards were over by me looking at it, and remarking at how neat of a game it was. What was at first a tense situation turned into a joyous occasion at the Dayton airport! Hopefully nobody snuck through while all the guards were distracted!

Funny story!
Something else I forgot to mention about the TixCon. There were plenty of random drawing prizes there, and I was lucky enough to win a Marvel booster. After a quick struggle trying to open it, I finally opened it to get a Thor and an Electro. "Pretty cool," I thought. But it really was interesting when I looked a little closer at them- Thor's special power was Sacrifice- Warrior, and had a speed of 6. Electro had an Attackback- Specialist power, and moved four. Something else Webhead noticed is that the figures didn't have base speed; it was the old fashioned bases. After a quick percentage check, I learned that Thor had S2 Mace Windu's base, and Electro had TIE Pilot's base.

LOL, I it!! Expalining the game of Attacktix to Security Guards as everyone behind you is eagerly awaiting to get x-rayed!
I wouldn't be surprised if a few people snuck in (wink wink)!...lol
Anyways....nice picture Ben! I didn't know you got one of that board! I still wish I could play on it once again!
We have to make a sweet board with sweet terrain!
I really hope Tixcon turns into an annual event.....

I should have som video up by Saturday..maybe. I didn't get too much footage, but I did get YB Finn knocking down like 5 of Pheonix's Spideys from her team! So that was preety sweet! Also got some random footage of other games and I'm trying to figure out who was playing these games, because in most parts of my footage I didn't get some of the faces and have had to go by what everyone was wearing...so I will try to get this up as soon as possible!

After a quick percentage check, I learned that Thor had S2 Mace Windu's base, and Electro had TIE Pilot's base. That was weird...I've never seen old school bases (mismatched) on Marvel figs before, and I've opened a LOT of boosters. I offered to trade Ben for "normal" figs, but he was keen to keep these rather unique misprints, not that I can blame him! Speaking of video, I know notacomputer is working on a video for the event as well, but those take a few days since he does a lot of editing and adds music and titles, so be on the lookout for that. I took one picture all day, and that was just of the marquee stand out front...there is something cool about a fancy hotel having a sign in the front lobby that says "Attacktix Tournament".

I belive when I played you Ben got some footage of our game, but not much...and I know I got some of the end of the 3 way match! I think everyone is in there somewhere! I may have gotten footage of another of your games, but the later it got the less I shot footage of events...I don't even think I got any of the 200 pt games......The sad thing is I had 3 hours of tape left, free for the using....
You guys will also get to see Ben and I being bored in the car on the 3 hour drive to Toledo!!! YAY!!! ;D
